Beginner questions

Hello, I've been lurking here for a while. I would like to start my sourdough journey but have a couple questions. I live in a small apartment, sometimes you can smell what your neighbors are cooking. Will sourdough starter make my home smell? Why is sourdough always cooked in a roaster, even if it's already in a loaf pan? Thanks

Beginner questions

Hello, I've been lurking here and watching for a while. You all have incredible looking breads. I have a couple questions. I live in a small apartment, and at times you can smell what your neighbors are cooking. Is a starter going to make my home smell? Why does it look like sourdough is always cooked inside some kind of a roaster, even if it's in a loaf pan already? Thank you

Putting on shoes with bad knees

I found the perfect way to put on my shoes now!

I purchased a small folding stool and a long metal shoehorn. Use the shoehorn to put your shoes on and put your foot on the stool to tie your shoes!

White diamonds color

I just purchased a new bottle of white diamonds. I've had it a couple of weeks and just realized it's a different color. The last bottle I had was a yellow color, this one is more amber. The scent seems to be the same. Why is it a different color than the last one?

I was gifted 6 tomato plants for my apartments patio. I'm hoping for a good harvest. As I'm a planner, I'm already asking questions. I am going to freeze them instead of canning because of space. I know the basics, cover with boiling water to peel easily etc. My questions are.....1-Does taking the skin off like that make them lose any nutrients? 2-If I leave the skin on, will an immersion blender make it unnoticeable? 3-If I cut them into chunks and let sit overnight to lose the water, do they need to be refrigerated or can they sit at room temp without growing harmful bacteria? 4-Can I drain that water off instead of cooking it off, or am I losing nutrients? Thanks for any and all information you can give me!🍅
